There is only one lone rescue bird living at Auckland Zoo and Lizzy Perrett and her team are desperate to retrieve an eggs from a nest (without disturbing the parents) to hand rear. Four were seen at North Cove on Monday so they are well and truly around.

AT and the RLB advise that these works will commence early next week (Tues 11th/Wed 12th - weather permitting). AT have engaged Hallett Enterprises Ltd to conduct the works. Passenger/vessel movements will not be restricted in any way. Work will pause whilst ferries and passengers are loading/unloading and on any occasions where the fuel truck is present.

From Beth Houlbrooke: “Auckland Council’s media response to queries regarding the impending closure of transfer stations at Lawrie Road Snells Beach…..The local board has not been part of this decision-making process. However I am now keenly seeking a solution and trust I have Cr Sayers’ support. There is more work to be done on this and we will keep you updated as best as possible.
